[Madison, Wis.] – Gov. Scott Walker traveled across the state to highlight his continued fight to lower the tax burden on Wisconsin’s hard-working families through the elimination of an entire tax. In fact, 100% of Wisconsin’s property taxpayers will see a 100% reduction on the state portion of their property tax bill.

In the decade prior to Governor Walker taking office, Wisconsin’s property taxes increased 27%. Governor Walker took on the big government special interests and returned the power to the taxpayers – with only one state in the nation lowering taxes more than Wisconsin since 2011. To keep moving forward, Governor Walker knows there is more to be done to further assist the people of Wisconsin and keep the state’s future bright.
